NEWS

On November 27th, 2017, Jack Pine launched a new video single "The Only Thing", a previously unreleased original song performed solo, live and raw, and produced by videographer Alain Ouellette. "READ THE BACK STORY HERE AND PLEASE SHARE IT WIDELY.

The Only Thing" tells a powerful true story of a personal experience with gun violence in Canada - it's about the fragility of life, the volatility of the world around us, and compassion for humanity. The song and video is dedicated to the two men in the story and all victims of violence and with its release Jack is raising funds and awareness for a worthy youth leadership anti-violence organization that serves under-supported Ontario communities L.O.V.E - Leave Out Violence Ontario - Please consider donating to their valuable work.

Left To Our Devices is released today and it's already building some local buzz... starting with this feature in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper about the album and the story of its production. The print version is a full front page of the arts section and the online version includes a three song solo video performance by Jack Pine, featuring 3 songs from the new album... Cabin Fever, The Run Down, and Desert Island. We are so very humbled for this support from the Citizen and other local publications and radio programs.

Stepping back from the warm comfort of The Fire, Ottawa artist Jack Pine (Gareth Auden-Hole) announces the release of his solo debut, the four song Lone Wolf EP, released September 25th, 2015. The EP's launch date was marked by a Dual CD Release event at St.Albans Church in Ottawa, ON, with The John Punch Band also releasing their first full-length album (recorded by Auden-Hole).

Singer-Songwriter-Producer Gareth Auden-Hole (aka Jack Pine) teamed up with co-engineer and talented multi-instrumentalist Anders Drerup at his Church of Sound Studio in Kinburn, ON to record four of Pine’s original songs in a day. The result is a delightfully raw, live-off-the-floor recording that makes full use of the ambient acoustics, heralding the solar powered studio’s former life as a stone chapel. The songs feature Jack Pine’s deep-seated respect for nature, wry sense of humour, empathy for the underdog, and thinly veiled sensitivity through a unique contemporary mix of folk and roots song styles.

The National Arts Centre Presents: Jack Pine! Jack Pine is joined on stage by guitarist and bandmate Anders Drerup for an intimate but lively duo performance. Jack Pine perform first in a co-headliner event with Anishinaabe MC/Singer/Songwriter Leonard Sumner.

Wake up with Ottawa Morning as host Hallie Cotnam kicks off the day live from the Ottawa Food Bank's member agency, Parkdale Food Centre (30 Rosemount Ave.) with special musical guests Kellylee Evans and Jack Pine and The Fire. Stop by for a free Bridgehead coffee and muffin starting at 6:30 a.m.

Just a couple of weeks after the sold-out launch of their 2nd full length album, Left To Our Own Devices... Jack Pine and The Fire will play the new record from start to finish for an afternoon performance at The Record Centre to celebrate their first vinyl release.
